SPARTER Backpack Cooler Insulated Leak Proof 33 49 Cans 2 Insulated Compartments Thermal Bag Portable Lightweight Beach Travel

Pleasantly surprised! This cooler holds quite a bit. I especially love all the extra little pockets it has for dry snacks and other things. The attached bottle opener is a nice addition. I actually downsized to this one for it to be easier to transport in my wagon for flag football tournaments. It holds the temperature well with the gel ice packs. It sat out all day in 50+ degree temps and the ice pack was still frozen. You cannot go wrong with black. It seems to wipe off easily with the exterior material. Durable enough to last a while. Great value for the money. Read more

I drive a party bus in Florida, this sits on the floor all day next to me, I will freeze 2 bottles of water and use them as my ice packs. The bottles are large body armor bottles, they fit perfectly vertically in this bag. If I tried I'm sure I could fit 8 of them in it with some room to spare. This bag keeps my drinks nice and cold all day and does not leak when I do add ice into it. The zippers are well made and sturdy, as are all the straps. This is a purchase I am very happy with and happy to suggest to others. I'm not afraid to call out bad items, and this is a good one. Read more

I bought the SPARTER Backpack Cooler, and I can confidently say it is about 100 times better than the Yeti backpack—and my wallet agrees. I was expecting “pretty good,” but what I got was a cooler that actually understands my lifestyle: snacks, drinks, and zero patience for leaks. First of all, this thing holds a ton. Cans, ice packs, food—everything fits, and it still zips up like it’s not even trying. The dual insulated compartments are genius: cold stuff stays cold, dry stuff stays dry, and nothing turns into a soggy disaster. Revolutionary concept. It’s comfortable to wear, doesn’t leak, and doesn’t make me feel like I paid extra just for a logo. I carried it around all day, and my shoulders survived. My drinks stayed cold. My pride stayed intact. Meanwhile, the Yeti backpack is somewhere watching this happen, wondering why it costs so much more to do so much less. If you want a cooler that works hard, carries everything, and doesn’t require a second mortgage, this is it. Highly recommend—SPARTER understood the assignment. Read more

I live in Texas and I spend a lot of time outdoors at concerts, camping, and hiking... I mainly bought this for the hiking. A typical day hike for me is 15 to 20 miles, and I wanted something with firm sides that would keep my water bottles standing, rather than allowing them to fall all over inside the pack and press uncomfortably against my lower back. I usually go out with 5 liters of water, iced in the freezer, which is a lot of weight pressing against you. The bottles I placed into THIS pack remained standing, and I can tell you that after my most recent 21+ mile hike, I felt the difference! It insulates and retains ice pretty well. When I was walking with the backpack on I did not feel any cold against my back, and I did not feel, or find any leaks. When I was about 16 miles into my hike and I pulled out another bottle, it was still about 80% to 85% ice. When I finished my hike and I looked into the bag, there was a small amount of water from the condensation, and as I said earlier, there were no leaks found. The top storage pocket of the backpack and the one on the front of it provide ample room for my wallet, compass, GPS unit, cell phone, sunglass case, and anything else that I prefer to bring with, rather than leave in my car. The items in these pockets were also well insulated from the frozen items in the storage area of the back pack. The only complaint that I have is that the padding on the straps feel cheap. They did the job and I had no issues on my hike, but when I first put the backpack on some of the back bled onto my right shoulder. I was a bit sweaty, because Texas, and it was not obvious, but seeing that it even happened in the first place makes me wonder... a quality material should not bleed. So why was I "pleasantly surprised" with this product? Well, When I first ordered it, I thought it was a Starter brand backpack. The logo is pretty similar, and though I was surprised that Starter would make a product like this, it did not seem too cray cray, given they made jackets and other outdoor wear. So when I received it, I was sort feeling like I was hoodwinked (even if I was, my fault for not paying attention at the time of purchase). It turned out to be a great purchase though. Oh, I almost forgot, I was able to easily fit two 2 2-liter bottles into the main storage area of the backpack. I found that I could also add a liter and a 1.5 liter water bottle. If I wanted to throw sandwiches and protein bars into the main storage area, there would definitely be more than enough room for a few of each. I am hoping this gives you a better idea of how much you can pack into it. Read more
